Operator Reference
read_world_file (Operator)
read_world_file — Read the geo coding from an ARC/INFO world file.
Signature
read_world_file( : : FileName : WorldTransformation)
Description
read_world_file reads a geocoding from an ARC/INFO world
file with the file name FileName and returns it as a
homogeneous 2D transformation matrix in WorldTransformation.
To find the file FileName, all directories contained in the
HALCON system variable 'image_dir' (usually this is the
content of the environment variable HALCONIMAGES) are searched (see
read_image). This transformation matrix can be used to
transform XLD contours to the world coordinate system before writing
them with write_contour_xld_arc_info. If the matrix
WorldTransformation is inverted by calling
hom_mat2d_invert, the resulting matrix can be used to
transform contours that have been read with
read_contour_xld_arc_info to the image coordinate system.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
FileName (input_control) filename.read → (string)
Name of the ARC/INFO world file.
WorldTransformation (output_control) hom_mat2d → (real)
Transformation matrix from image to world coordinates.
Result
If the parameters are correct and the world file could be read, the
operator read_world_file returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. Otherwise
an exception is raised.
Possible Successors
hom_mat2d_invert,
affine_trans_contour_xld,
affine_trans_polygon_xld
